Massing and density are nice, but visually this building is a mess: horizontal bands of glass interrupting a vertical column relief motif, slapped next to alternating offset window placement on the tower portion. It's like wearing a plaid blazer over a striped shirt with polka-dotted pants. Just pick a style and go with it, already.
I do very much like some of the other towers under construction in the immediate vicinity, however, and the whole area looks like it will be quite nice, and active once these buildings are complete.
